Baby puking often?

My ped didn’t seem concerned at our last appointment. But I have had 5 infants and can’t ever remember any of them puking like this. She pukes usually once a day. Today twice. It’s full stomach contents each time.

I went dairy free a little over 2 weeks ago thinking that would maybe help. Doesn’t seem to be. She screams and cries and comfort nurses. Then sometimes forceful puke.

I feel so frustrated that I can’t help her or find a solution. I’m calling her doctor again tomorrow. But wanted to see if any of you have had similar issues with your babe?

Is LO (little one) hungry after she throws up? Our LO (little one) was puking after feeding occasionally. Our pediatrician told us if baby pukes and isn’t hungry after, then he probably overate. If baby is still hungry, then he’s be concerned.

My baby spits up CONSTANTLY (like 10-15 times after each feeding) and also forcefully vomits a few times a day. Every. Day. It’s awful.. but she is not in pain and is gaining weight so the pedi chalked it up to reflux. I was so concerned that the amount and frequency of her spit ups/vomits was not normal that my pedi had an ultrasound done to check for pyloric stenosis, but it came back negative. I’ve basically been told that she’ll grow out of it, but it’s seriously exhausting 😓👎

Ive also cut diary and haven’t noticed a change. Thinking about maybe cutting soy too. Anything is worth a shot right now. She goes through 5-6 outfits a day 😭 I can’t keep up with the laundry!! Lol

Ya know it kind of does honestly. She is immediately hungry. I’m not sure on weight loss bc she hasn’t been to the dr in a couple weeks. She is still having a lot of weight diapers but dirty diapers have slowed down. I chalked that up to her getting older. Hmm. Definitely calling the pediatrician about this tomorrow! Thank you!

It may be because baby is getting older, it's hard to say. I thought the same thing at first when my lo had it. It is worth bringing up at the very least.

Even if A.R. they can give LO (little one) something if shes in pain or uncomfortable. They started my son on Ranitidine and he's not having so much discomfort after feeding anymore. The spit up is somewhat better has not puking after EVERY bottle anymore. I also feed less but more frequently so 2oz every 2 hours was the magic number and I switched to Enfamil A.R. Nothing 100% stopped the spit up but he's not in pain so I can deal with the laundry LOL

I am facing the same with my 6 weeks old . I was at my pediatrician when my baby threw twice but dr didn’t seem to be worried at all . I have a fast let down so I am thinking it might overeating.. I would still check with pediatrician as each child is different . Keep us posted as well .
